Behind the Scenes Look at the Horror Classic "The Shining"

Stanley Kubrick'sThe Shining
is a classic psychological horror film that left a huge impact on pop
culture and continues to be recognized to this day. The cinematic
masterpiece, whose influence on future media is undeniable, includes
cult favorites from the creepy twin girls to memorable phrases like "All
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Now, over thirty years since
its release, we take a look back at what the set of the film was like.

Browsing through numerous behind the scenes photos, the dark and
eerie veil of the movie is lifted. What was once a nightmare shrouded in
mystery is suddenly a very normal scene of people working together to
create something worth checking out. Of course, the people, though in
ordinary and relaxed demeanors, are megastars like Jack Nicholson, the
legendary Stanley Kubrick, and cult favorites like Shelley Duvall.
Many more images can be found over on The Overlook Hotel, a blog run by director Lee Unkrich that's dedicated to the film.
